Sea Farm Open Day: Part 1

Written on August 17, 2010 by in Be Inspired, Events, Reception

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of attending an open day at the stunning wedding and holiday venue Sea Farm at Copacabana (on NSW’s Central Coast). The lovely and talented Stephanie, owner of the Sea Farm property as well as gorgeous jewellery boutique Fletcher & Grace gathered a collection of wedding industry professionals to showcase their talents on the day.

I took in some great wedding ideas as well as fell in love with Sea Farm’s unique country/seaside charm.

A marquee on the entertaining deck on the home made an impressive first impression as we drove down the tree-lined driveway.

Inside the marquee, the scene was set for an intimate reception. The airy and light-filled space was themed with pretty shades of green. Mirrored centerpieces reflected cream David Austin roses and tealight candles.

Part 2 including stunning ceremony ideas coming soon.

Featured vendors:
